Here on the east coast, it doesn't feel like the last day of winter with snowbanks that are 8 feet high and drifts in my backyard that are upwards of 15 feet tall.

In order to wish for spring to arrive soon, I wanted to share a quick post about a spring inspired green that is a favorite CiM-Creation is Messy Glass of mine.

Rather than just showing you just the beads, I have created a couple of jewelry designs incorporating the beads with some antiqued brass findings.

The beads are created with a base of CiM's Mint Chip Ltd Run that was rolled in Glass Diversions Coffee Bean glass frit.
This combination is perfect to pair with antiqued brass rather than the traditional silver or gold.
The owls add some whimsy and also function as time keepers as well.

Close up on the beads. I love the veining of the brown tones over the mint green base!
